Last week we reported on the deluxe cabins installed by Etihad Airways on its new Boeing and Airbus aircraft. But does it match up to the glory days of the Pan Am Clippers?
The winning bid for a seat on an intercontinental flight aboard a famous Second World War bomber fetched almost double the asking price over the weekend.
A $79,100 bid assured someone a spot on the Avro Lancaster when it flies to England in August. The aircraft was bought for $10,000 in 1977. The reserve bid was $40,000. Hamilton’s Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum auctioned off the opportunity to help pay for a month-long flying tour of the U.K. alongside the Royal Air Force’s Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) Lancaster. WOW What a ride!
Come, even if you don’t fly Camels … Camels — Humps … get it? Budda Bump!!
